I use it for my diff oil and motor oil and I love it, I personally feel like it might not make much a difference while driving it, but it'll improve the car's long term life. I know a lot of FI guys prefer amsoil.

I tried it in my tranny and it felt good for about 1k miles (smoother than Honda MTF), but it didn't last long. I drained it for Gm Synchromesh agter only 1200 miles.

I use Amsoil 10W30 In the engine. Oil consumption has been reduced alot vs previous Mobil 1
I used Amsoil Severe gear 75w90 and didn't like it. I felt the diff making noise, I live in a hot climate and I think the oil thinned out too soon on normal operation. Swapped it for 75w110... works like a charm

On the transm. I use oem Honda one... I plan to use Amsoil in the next oil change.

+1 on the Amsoil on all 3 areas. Have been running Amsoil exclusively in my engine since about 14000 miles (I have over 202000 miles now). Still runs strong as new, only uses about a quart of oil every 3000 miles or so.
